The people from the attack are terrorists having a temper tantrum and undermining democracy. A democracy that is both already stacked in their favor and still delivered them a President who I'd argue is sympathetic to a lot of their beliefs and values even if I do believe his anger about what happened. And people saying these are our allies as opposed to Liberals or "Elites" are people confusing anti-Cosmopolitanism with Leftism.

There are a lot of people who should face consequences for what they did because it's a big loving deal, but these are the people. I know that trying to disrupt our democratic through force is a big deal, but there are a lot of folks who are aligned with these people who didn't take part in a terrorist attack. As hard as it is to imagine, I think that the world a lot of us imagine requires us to at one point find restoration with these people because they exist. Their dignity and autonomy matter even if they may not think that about you and me.

Because what else can you do?

Like, put them in a jail system that focuses on re-education, where you teach them basic human empathy, and remove them from society until they are no longer a threat to it?

But there are tons of people politically aligned with them who have not tried to disenfranchise their fellow Americans by force. And you can ignore them to some degree. Like Joe Biden can and should ignore them to get an infrastructure plan going, but that's not really what this thread is about. Like if you actually want a society where Democracy is a value and not just system of electing officials, you do have to deal with those people at some point..

I think the most important part of this, is that one, it doesn't matter if they are disenfranchising their fellow Americans by force, or by legislation, or by pissing in the wind and trying to catch it with their mouth. They have decided that there personal morals are more important than the safety and freedom of their fellow citizens. If you're supporting republicans politically in the current day and age, you are supporting some of the most harmful, disgusting, and morally reprehensible ideologies that exist. I can not think of a single republican platform that doesn't directly go against someones rights, pillages our nations resources, or exports American misery to other countries.

If we're doing hypothetical total future communism, then people who are like this, who are racist without cause, who try to harm others, who want to take and take and take and give nothing back, they would be taught basic skills like humanism and empathy. That is what prison should be as well, not a punishment, or Slavery-Light but a way to reform people into something that isn't hellworld bullshit.

You ask me who should go to the reeducation camps, prison, whatever. I think you already know the answer I will give.

Everyone. The entire education, and justice systems should be reformed so that people prove they understand and are capable of having empathy, and understanding how the system should work for them, those that don't get iut are taught again, and again until they get it, or they're so removed from society that it doesn't matter.
